Try the search function. Works well.
But in any case, use this.

Trim back the nub sticking off the drivers side block just below the head about a 1/8 and the header will slip right in.Pass side goes in no problem.

It's easy. Do a search in the external engine section and you will fine a shitload of posts about it.

Get a friend to help.
car does not need to be that high up. Jackstands work fine.
driver side header goes in facing forward and rotates in.
ARP header studs make getting them in hard.
